Dear Licensee:
This refers to your license renewal application for station KZJL(TV), Houston, TX.
Section 73.3526 of the Commission’s Rules (Rules) requires broadcast licensees to maintain a 
public inspection file containing specific types of information related to station operations.1 As 
set forth in Section 73.3526(e)(11)(iii) of the Rules, each commercial television broadcast station 
is required to prepare and place in its public inspection file a Children’s Television Programming 
Report (FCC Form 398) for each calendar quarter reflecting, inter alia, the efforts it has made 
during the quarter to serve the educational needs of children.  Section 73.3526(e)(11)(iii) of the 
Rules also requires commercial television stations to file the reports with the Commission and to 
publicize the existence and location of the reports.  Moreover, Section 73.3526(e)(7) provides 
that an EEO public file report is to be placed in a station’s public inspection file annually, on the 
anniversary of the date its renewal application is due to be filed.  Where lapses occur in 
maintaining the public file, neither the negligent acts nor omissions of station employees or 
agents, nor the subsequent remedial actions undertaken by the licensee, excuse or nullify a 
licensee’s rule violation.2
On April 3, 2006, you filed the above-referenced license renewal application for station 
KZJL(TV).  In response to Section IV, Question 3 of that application, you certify that, during the 
  
1 See 47 C.F.R. § 73.3526.
2 See Padre Serra Communications, Inc., 14 FCC Rcd 9709 (1999) (citing Gaffney Broadcasting, Inc., 23 FCC 2d 
912, 913 (1970) and Eleven Ten Broadcasting Corp., 33 FCC 706 (1962)); Surrey Range Limited Partnership, 71 
RR 2d 882 (FOB 1992).

previous license term, you failed to place in the station’s public inspection file, at the appropriate 
times, all of the documentation required by Section 73.3526 of the Rules.  In Exhibit 17, you 
indicate that, station KZJL(TV)’s Children’s Television Programming Reports for the second 
and third quarters of 2004 and the station’s 2005 EEO public file report were missing from the 
public inspection file.  You stated that copies of these documents have been placed into the 
public file.
Although we do not rule out more severe sanctions for violations of this nature in the future, 
based upon the record before us we have determined that an admonition is appropriate at this 
time. Therefore, based upon the facts and circumstances before us, we ADMONISH you for the 
admitted violations of Section 73.3526 of the Rules described in station KZJL(TV)’s renewal 
application.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, a copy of this Letter shall be sent by First Class and 
Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to KZJL License Corp. at the address listed above, and 
to its counsel, Kathleen A. Kirby, Esquire, Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP, 1776 K Street, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20006.
